IMAGE/TOP COW LAUNCHES
HOLY-WARRIOR EPIC IN MAGDALENA

Writer Tini Howard and artist Ryan Cady team up for the all-new series MAGDALENA, set to launch from Image/Top Cow this March.

MAGDALENA follows “The Magdalena” a powerful individual who has always
defended the world from demonic evil, empowered by the blood of Jesus
Christ and Mary Magdalene in her veins. But when a brush with death
leaves her gravely wounded, Patience decides to seek out the next in the
bloodline and train her replacement. The replacement, meanwhile, is
having enough trouble with finding her purpose even without the whole
holy-warrior gig.

Howard and Cady put a fresh, contemporary spin on the popular Top Cow
universe superheroine—known for her early appearances in THE DARKNESS
and WITCHBLADE series—and introduce an adventure for new readers to
enjoy.

MAGDALENA #1 (Diamond code: JAN170667) hits comic book stores Wednesday,
March 22nd. Final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday,
February 27th.
